A combination of both atlas and textbook material in a comprehensive package. "Atlas of the Anatomy of the Horse" provides all essential background information on the subject in a most concise and accessible format. The line diagram illustrations are complemented by high quality radiographs where appropriate. The organized and integrated approach succeeds in compressing extensive and essential subject matter into a practical and manageable format. This book provides a valuable learning tool for veterinary students, as well as an indispensible source of reference and refresher points for qualified practitioners. The main section of the book, Topographical Anatomy, contains a logical, geographical breakdown of the organ systems, identifying key anatomical and histological features in regional sections. Particular emphasis is placed on the interaction between the various structures, and this aspect is summarized in detailed tables in the respective Appendices of Regional Anatomy.

A revised edition of a very successful book. The new edition contains new chapters on the eye, abdomen, female reproduction, ultrasonography and orthopaedics. The atlas is superbly illustrated throughout with colour drawings, photographs, and radiographs providing the reader with detailed information on the structure, function, and clinical application of all equine body systems and their interaction in the live animal.

I made a couple of purchases before getting this particular book and was finally satisfied with this one. Excelent detail on musculoskeletal system of the horse with bone landmarks and muscle origin and insertions, innervations and actions covered. Very useful text.
